Wise beyond her years

Sometimes Kaiya I feel like you are wise beyond your years. There are so many times that you have helped me become a better mother by your example. Like today Jager was having a fit about the shirt I gave him to wear and I was getting very inpatient with him and we both ended up angry. You came into the room in a very calm manner and said "mom maybe if you would have brought Jager to his closet and said, Jager lets find a shirt together that you would like to wear today, maybe you guys wouldn't be in this fight." I told you, you were 100% right and that is exactly what I should have done and thank you! You also told me today that you were sent to us so that you could make things better when someone is fighting.You are such a peace maker in our home. I love you so much and am so grateful for the example you are to us!

Kiddie pool fun!

Oh how I wish this weather would have lasted! The kids had so much fun last week hanging our in the pool We had 2 great days of hot weather. Cooper was lovin it the most. He got in and out about 20 times that day.

Mother's Day

For Mothers day in Kaiya's class they had a spa day for the mothers. They had 5 stations, nail painting, head and neck massage's, reading with your mom, foot massage's and refreshments. Kaiya loved bringing me around to each station and pampering me. She was actually really great at giving the massage's . I think I will have to hit her up for those more often. As a gift, all of the kids worked on a digital scrapbook card with pictures of them and their mothers. I loved it!!

In Jagers class they had each mom come in separately and each child presented their mom with a handmade paper flower. All of the mom's then sat at the tables and were severed cake and punch. The kids then sang 2 songs to us and then presented us with a really cute poem with their hand print on it. I loved seeing Jager at school, he is growing up so fast! Being a mother is the best job in the world and I wouldn't change a thing!

Rub a dub dub 2 boys and a baby in a tub

I took these pictures a few weeks ago on one of the very few warm days. We were smart and installed a hot water hook up on the outside of our house. It comes in real handy when the kids are playing in the water. Anyways Jager got in first and wanted Cooper to come in too, so I thought what the heck why not. I grab the baby wash and a wash cloth and the boys had their bath outside. They loved it! Kaiya had to put her water baby in too get clean. I can't wait to enjoy more warm days with my kids. They just love being outside and now that Cooper is FINALLY walking it's even more fun.

Easter 2010

I love EASTER! The kids had so much fun having an easter egg hunt out at Drew and Marty's place this year. We were all having flash backs to when Grandma would have egg hunts out there and how much candy she would hide. Our baskets were always full. There are so many great hiding places out there. After the hunt we all enjoyed lunch together. I love having all of my family so close. The cousins are so lucky to have eachother!
